"I was that one weird classmate that was obsessed with horses" there is always one.
"The horse girl"! 😆
+Scout Strong I read this comment as she was saying that omg
Yeah......that's me 😂😂
+Shawne Marinn the horse girl club
I actually have one in my class wtf
Honestly, I wouldn't function properly without keeping a journal. It organises my thoughts and keeps me sane.
lotus1186 right??
lotus1186 Me two, journal in my phone and it helps with my anxiety and depression a lot!!
love your collection!!! you are SO well spoken and I love your emphasis on confidence, YES YES YES.
Overall Adventures omg Tinaaaaa ♡♡♡
Lowkey in love with your voice
lol me too 😂😂
What you write 💗 & oh, that voice! I love you, love from the UK😘🇬🇧
Toriana Rose ikr 😂
OMG! Honestly, almost all the people who talk about journaling are boring, but you are hilarious! I watched the whole video and you are extremely fun to watch!!! Definitely subscribed!
The Random Channel
The Random Channel yessssss!!
Actually kind of found her to be boring tbh
I do this thing called morning pages. where every morning I write a minimum of 3 pages in my journal. I do 3 because by the end of the first page I'm really inside my head and I work out quite a few things. I usually do it when I first wake up too so I start the day with a fresh mind. thanks for this video I'm glad I'm not the only journal obsessed person around here :)
erin dillman when i first started journaling what's what i do too! but after a while i realise i'm not a morning person on school season and hates routine so i ended up writing whenever i want sometimes past my bedtime lol
+kaefitzmag same!!!
journaling makes a good speaker and you are
Thank you
OK. First of all, I have to tell you that you are so SPECIAL! And you're just a kid! I have got to follow you so that I can see how you turn out. You're talented. You're brilliant. You're a natural in front of the camera. You're sweet & caring. You're a shining star. It's 7 PM & this is the first time I've laughed all day. What am I talking about! This is the first time I've laughed out loud in days & days. Your video came up automatically because I was trying to find a good method of bullet journaling in order to be more organized - not your type of journaling at all. I went part-way through 5 or 6 videos before yours, & I was falling asleep in my chair. OMG, why are so many boring people, with nothing to say, who don't even know where to place their cameras, making videos??? And why are people watching them????? I am so happy that I found you, & I can't wait to see what you have to say next.
+Phyllis Coppolino This is probably my favorite comment i've ever received in 3 years of youtubing. Thank you so much for the kind words :')
+WhittyNovels You're very welcome. You're a beautiful, multi-talented, young woman with the world at your feet. Keep up the good work. Follow your bliss (read/watch Joseph Campbell). BTW, if the desire is there for drawing, take a class, keep searching for a teacher who believes in you & encourages you; read, observe. You can do anything you want to do. Anything.
You're awesome!
I wish I hadn't burnt all my teenage journals! Thanks for sharing. :)
i started journaling because of her and i missed watching her videos so i came back and watch this again ❤
I keep throwing away my journals sighhhhh BUT THIS MAKES ME WANT TO KEEP EVERYTHING AND TRY HARDER
+novelexperience Don't throw them away just stash them away in an allocated journal box. You will be happy looking back at them and seeing how much you have evolved. xx
I envy the fact that you have all of your journals. I probably had 10 filled journals from Jr high and high school that I lost during a move and I would give so much to have them back. Thank you for sharing! 😊
I love journaling so much! I mostly just use it as a therapeutic outlet, but I also love writing about random things I think of, dreams I have, and documenting big events in my life! I also make a lot of lists all the time in them.
Amaze balls
I started journaling when I was fifteen, and have not stopped since
It really is therapeutic. I try to write every other day for at least fifteen minutes.
I enjoyed your video. I have been journalling for years..since I was 10, it's nice to see other people loving the same things as I do.
For all those who don't always find the time but want to see their development over the years:
There is an 'One line a day' journal which can be bought on the Internet. It's like a calendar over 5 years and it's got 5 boxes per day to write in, so after 5 years you can read one phrase of septembre 5th in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 e.g. It's great!
You have really beautiful eyes
bengalifob2 omg yeah she does
I’m 13 and I’ve been journaling since the start of 2016 and I’ve completed 2 big chunky books so far and will hopefully continue to write journals till I’m older, if you’re ever stuck on what to write about here are some journal prompts
-
Journal prompts ✨☁️
* write about all the zodiac signs. What they are like, have you met any, what they are in your life (best friend, friend etc)
* Pick a year, maybe a year you/ friend/family was born find our important things that happened that year. The top song that played on the radio, the movie that won at the Oscars, any notable inventions?
* Draw a alternative world. Maybe it’s the same current world but some of the people have horns? Maybe it’s a world in a hour glass?
* Are you superstitious? If yes write/draw about your biggest superstition if no, write/draw about one that interests you.
* Write/draw about how you feel at 3am.
-
Hope you find these helpful!
Always remember that you don’t need to write about something “important” journaling can be about just letting your emotions out or making something creative it’s really up to you because after all this is YOUR journal and you are in charge just think of it as your space where you can express yourself however you would like!
-
If you’ve wanted to start journaling but want inspiration or even if you already journal I really want you to watch sosonia’s video on the channel “soulpancake” about journaling. whenever I’m out of inspiration or just want a creative boost I watch her journal flip through and it gets my juices flowing! I was on Pinterest the other day when I came across a paragraph about journaling and it really inspired me to get back to journaling when I wasn’t really feeling it so here is the paragraph!
-
I tell everyone this and I mean it. Buy a journal.
Carry it with you wherever you go. And I mean everywhere. Write about your favourite moments, your least favourite moments, ideas, grocery lists, people you’ve met, strangers you’ve walked pass on the street, favourite quotes, words to remember, what the sky looked like at 7pm, new songs you’ve discovered and what they mean to you, your childhood, places you want to go to or places you have been, how you feel in the exact moment, draw out the mountains, scribble over the pages and then when it gets full, buy a new one. Reread it in 2 years, 20 years, when you need a good laugh, when you’re crying on the bathroom floor, read it to your children. You need to remember these moments in you’re life. They are so important.
-
Hope you found all this helpful and remember, all you need is a pen and a journal 😌
very helpful and inspiring, thanks.
This video made me grin from ear to ear! I did a journal keeper series on my channel where I showed all my journals and how they evolved as a grew up, I agree it's fascinating. My journals are being passed down to my kids, I have a shelf full of finished books.
TheLittleInk omg that's awesome. I must check out your videos!
I have an idea for you~ It's not exactly my idea but..... I suggest you to record your dreams after you wake up. I find them very exciting to journal about so I thought you'd like it too.
+Jae Trinh I've been meaning to make a dream journal!! I need to find a cool new journal with stars on it or something :)
+Jae Trinh I've been doing this for one year now (I'd say) and it's interesting which little thoughts of my day are integrated in my dreams. But I most like the dreams which aren't related at all to my daily life/thoughts/experiences.
WhittyNovels I read this book called a little bit of dreams and it tells u a way to interpret your dreams too!! even if you don't believe the spiritual things it says u can still get something out of it (:
maybe you can print and glue on your journal positive comments you get here on RUclips
TheGabriel2002 Guys remember, we were here before both 1ook a 1million....
Snorlaxing Mepi ???
I LOVE your personality!!!!!
+DogAgLover thank you :D
I just stumbled across your video and I must say I love how you present yourself! I just bought a too expensive sketchbook journal and I have been struggling for days on what to put in it. Plus, I am guilty of looking around to be inspired by other people books and trying to figure out how I can make mine look like theirs. But, like you said, there is no need to do that and I'm going to stick to that! Thank you for taking the time to share your world with us and just so you know: My name is Whitney, too!
I'm so glad you made this! I've been journalling on and off since 2000 but haven't since my horrendous breakup a year ago. This has really inspired me to start again so thank you!
you said not to cross anything out. it's hard not to when you have an extremely nosy mom.
Try using two journals- one for stuff that's not so deep and you don't mind her possibly looking at and then keep another and hide it as well as you can and put more personal stuff there. Or you could get an app to write in that requires a password? Good luck!
+Spooky Jim josh dun is that you??????
or just find a really good hiding spot.
Same :( im back from college and i started a completely blank one so if she ever sees it its only recent things and she cant really read anything prior to this 10 days
I've got one of those, although at least she doesn't snoop
I hid it behind my books on my bookshelves although other places might be better
It's funny that you say 'look out for me, NY Times best seller' - girl, you have a BOOK coming out, what IF?!
my problem when journaling is that i hardly ever use the same notebook when journaling. I'll buy a new notebook, write on the first five pages, then toss it aside and buy a new one lol. I recently got a new hardcover journal that i've actually been loyal to, and it's the second hardcover i've used. i had one when i was 12-13 and every time i go back and look at it, im thoroughly entertained. I use my journals for diaries, song writing, and novel ideas. journaling is very fun to me, and i intend to get into it more.
I used to keep a journal everyday through out middle and high school. Since graduating I've stopped. But when I had my son and put him up for adoption I've started another just for him and my emotions surrounding his adoption. He turned a year old this month and it's very therapeutic to write and go back and read what I've written. 💜💜🐳
niicolereads just wondering...have you gottem him back because on your videos theres a baby🙋🏼
•The raising of Jenny• You don't get your baby back if you put them up for adoption (:
You look so young to be a mother in your prof pic. Your beautiful 😍 hope everything is well with your son
In the middle of this video I picked up the notebook that I have been sort of starting this summer and just started writing about my day and this was very inspirational and informative - and I am excited to be your newest subscriber yay thank you for making this!
You make such a good point - the actual type of journal doesn't matter, just whatever makes you feel good.People seem to get so hung up on a certain type of journal or planner and all the stuff...but you don't need a special format. Reading back on the thoughts of your childhood and the years you are going through right now will indeed be so valuable in years to come. You are doing great, I hope you keep journaling in whatever way makes you feel good!
Thank you!
Love this video! I'm going on 25 this year and my middle school/high school journals are priceless to me!
I saved this video as my favorite and now I'm rewatching it!! You should do an update video on your journals! 😍
Interesting that I came across this video. Yesterday I went through my old journals, and they were so entertaining. I mean, they're definitely sooo embarrassing and I would never share them, but I'd enjoy them when I'm older for sure
I love journalling! I mostly just write about my day and my thoughts but I really want to start an 'artsy' kinda journal too!:D
i started journaling last month and you inspire me so much not to stop doing it (sorry if my english is bad, im portuguese :) )
I always loved the thought of journaling and having something to look back on and connect with our past selves. Growing up I always kept a journal and talked about my day but I stopped mid high school.
I am now entering my first year of college and I am so inspired about everything in life and I really have been looking into journaling again. Watching your video has inspired me to pick back up an interest of mine and to accept myself for how I am because I think a big reason why I stopped was because I really was comparing my journal heh heh..
Thank you for inspiring me
This was such an interesting and unique video. I have been journaling sporadically since ~2007 on my computer. I just keep folders for each year and create word documents for each day. That works out really well for me because then I can go back and see how I was doing a year ago on that date. It's therapeutic because I can see how much I've grown and developed over time, as well as themes that have permeated my entries for years.
When I was younger (age 8-14) I used to write in paper journals. I still have all those. They're painful to look at because I was going through hard times, but I'm glad I still have them.
I'm turning 23 and a part of me regrets not keeping a journal even though I tried so many times. Another part of me is actually thankful because I was very self destructive and severely depressed , and reading through it now would most likely trigger me. Watching this video I realized there are many types of journaling that I could have done that wasn't necessarily exclusive to internal thoughts and emotions. The kind of journaling I regret not keeping is definitely the lists and prompts and fanfiction and art and video game ideas.. You've really encouraged me to go back and start over.
I love how passionate you are here, it shows a part of your personality that you usually hide with sarcasm. I hope you get to where you wanna go in life because you really deserve it (even though at the beginning I didn't get it and considered you to be just another privileged white person who has been able to do so many things in life but was still being a privileged white person about it. I understand it a lot better now, especially from your tumblr)
Azza A thank you so much
YAAAS! This video was exactly what I needed! I've been considering getting back into journaling so thank you girlie for reminding me of how fun and therapeutic it is!
Aprilius Maximus APPRILLLL DO IT!!!!
So Glad I just found your page!! I am an aspiring journalist and writing is my favorite thing to do. I do have some anxiety and writing is kind of my creative outlet that helps me which is kind of the same reason I love to read. Seeing how you said that your journaling helped with anger and anxiety kind of helped me know that I am not alone with the whole writing to relieve stress and stuff like that so thank you !!!!
awesome video, I just began journaling a month ago for stress relief, I've gone through around 200 pages with pent up thoughts :P from where I am we aren't allowed to show emotions too much so this is like talking to a good friend.
I'm so much calmer and collected. I'm getting into the bullet system for productivity and maybe get into some art.
I like your style, you're very honest. kudos!
This was actually great inspiration and I want to go out and buy some journals now! I tried to journal once before when I was like 9/10 and I remember it being the most pathetic and embarrassing thing ever.
I started journaling again after a while and best believe it has helped me work on my mental health and its very fun and rewarding to look back at when you complete a note book.
I've already got a notebook and started writing in it by the time I finished watching xD I think this will be a nice thing to read in a few years. I've got a little art A6 notebook from an art shop half a year ago, but I haven't filled any pages in it cause I felt it was too pretty to ruin with doodles, so this is a perfect opportunity to fill it.
Thank you for this video. I used to journal a lot but the last 2 or so years, I haven't written anything. But I realised that I really do burden my friends and family a lot with the things that I'm going through. After watching your video, I realised I should just journal. Thank you. Liked and subscribed
You transmit a lot of positivity and happiness!! I have only watch 34 seconds of the video and I already have a smile on my face.
here's a new subscriber! :D
hugs and kisses from Spain!
This was awesome to watch! I've only got one journal going and I try to only write down positive things to keep me motivated, what I did and things that make me happy like : what I'm reading (how much I've read), what I wore that day & jobs that I feel accomplished doing!
Thanks so much for creating this video it really helped me a lot with my journalling :)
the funny thing is, I don't journal I have a diary. I don't quite get journalling. Or what people call journalling, because I always call it a diary. I always want to put on the cover of it MY BIG BOOK OF GRIEVANCES. Friends reference. Anyone? Anyone?
You've inspired me to do a journal.
I definitely need things to get my thoughts out but also find things to keep in one place.
thank, Whitney!
I haven't written in my journal in so long. This has inspired me to start again. Great video Whitney!
I love all your different journals! I wrote this song about how I hate camping a couple of years ago called "I'm Over It"....then when I went on a nationwide house concert tour last month, I screenprinted moleskine journals with a tent, a couple of trees and the words I'm Over It....for those rants and thoughts that can't go into a typical gratitude journal. :o)
Before watching your videos, I had no idea that others kept journals. I' would discuss them with my friends and even some family members and they never really saw my passion for it. Recently, my life has been pretty constant and that resulted in empty journals. I even considered stopping. But to know that there are people out there who do the same thing and have the same thrive really made me want to journal way more often. So, thank you.
I loved your video! You were so on point! I used to keep a Journal until I was about 18 years old, and then I stopped because I thought that I had nothing else to say. Now, I'm trying to pick up that old habit back. The scary, and most beneficial, part (at least for me) is that you really have to be honest with yourself and ready to talk through pen and paper. It's not easy, but so worth it!
I've been journaling since about 4th grade ('99) about my thoughts and what I did that day. I've also been scrapbooking since 2002. It's awesome to go back and look at everything. They are my prized possessions. :)
Everytime i get out my journal, i always start from the top of your journaling playlist. It keeps me so motivated! Thank you!! xx
I love my journal. I write in it not everyday but when I need a place to let out my feeling and thoughts. Its very helpful. I only started journaling a lot since September 7th of 2014 but I love it! I love my journal even though it's not the happiest cause I have been going through some stuff right now but I'm still happy to write in it when I need to. I can't wait to see what my next adventure will be when I have to start a new journal. Its adventure that takes you so many places in you mind and is fun. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't start journaling. I loved this video. It should inspire more people to just pick a journal and write!
i was that one weird classmate who was obsessed with horses too ha
i kept journals a lot - i think my first journal was written when i was in second grade. it was just a small collection of poems and stuff
i've tried to keep an artsy journal but that didn't really work *awkward laugh*
i wrote my first novel in a notebook when i was in fifth grade. it sucks but it's still nice to look at and see how my writing has improved since then.
i haven't been journaling recently lately, which saddens me. [however, i have been writing fanfiction and considering doing nanowrimo this year] i'd been planning on getting back into journaling this summer, and this only inspired me more!
this video is absolutely wonderful by the way! thank you!
I am so glad I stumbled across this post! I have been journaling for years but in no organized manner. Now I'm into planning and I have 3 planners: my Smithsonian for appointments and important personal info; a Happy Planner for birthdays only; and a Happy Planner that I've been trying to figure out how to use. You have inspired me to use it as a planner/journal! Thank you for sharing about your journals. My #3 should have enough room to keep up with non-business events and to journal everyday. The boxes on the daily spreads should be perfect for writing down short notes about events or just random thoughts or grateful thoughts! Thank you so much!
I loved your video! I keep a journal too. I don't write in it as much as I would like to but you inspired to keep writing and perhaps search journaling topics as you suggested. I love it because it's a nice experience when you look back at what you have written. I keep two seperate journals; one is only happy thoughts and the other one is to write down my negatibe thoughts. I think writing in journals is therapeutic in expressing your negative emotions in a healthy way.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO.
I have a lot of journals that I've kept since I was fourteen. I had more before then, but I think they were thrown away - we have moved a lot since then, I miss them, I wish every child to keep their most valued items like journals or a teddy bear because they're going to be upset later on.
I needed that advice, thank you, I never write because I feel like nothing I write is interesting and stuff. I loved it.
Also, with the art journalling - do it anyway. it doesn't matter if you're bad at art.
You inspire me as a person. Love your personality so much! Thanks for the advices, it really guided and helped me. Now I'm going to start journaling!! (;
Much love from Singapore!
I have some of my journals from late middle school/early ninth grade. So much embarrassment! But it's also nice to see how my writing has improved. (And that I don't complain as much!)
Very inspiring video! I love your ideas and journals. I am planning to integrate journaling into my daily routine and eventually my blog. I just purchased a couple more regular composition books. One will hopefully become a planner and the other a chart book. I love making webs and flow charts with my ideas, it makes my blogging easier. So, thank you for enlightening me. I thought I might have been too much of a perfectionist for wanting to work on several journals at once. Its a relief knowing that I'm not alone!!
I keep a journal since i was 10 and i have a collection of 15 journals! I have to say that it has helped me so much through the years. I organize my thoughts when i'm writing in my journal and tjen i feel so good, like i've talked to my best friend!
I keep a journal right now but I haven't written in it for awhile but you're an inspiration and I really want to keep up with it!
I'm going to be starting college in the fall and I really want to start journaling! I used to journal when I was younger but I gave up on them but I really wished I had continue writing. Great video, Whitney! :)
sandyreadsalot good luck!! (:
I've always been interested in doing this because I talk way to much so I've been writing everything down because I might as well be constructive with my thoughts. You have inspired me and given me more ideas for things to write about! I had no idea that journaling was more than just writing about your day! Thank you!!
This inspired me a lot! thanks :D
I have a couple of journals to but, most of the time I'm to busy with school aaarrgh.......
I always try to write in them once a week because it's really relaxing for me
lots of love from the Netherlands!
I keep a journal and I try to update it a couple times a week. A lot of it is just stickers and rants, but I also talk about my life. I try to doodle in it but it's a mess XD
I actually really enjoy it, but for some reason I randomly go through a long period of time without writing in one and I just end up buying a new journal. I need to learn to actually finish them!
And looking back at old journals is so fun for me because I was really weird kid lol...you never know what you'll find in there..
Your comment on how people feel like the journal is so pretty it's unworthy of the content we put in is SO accurate.
I'm wanting to get into journals and staying consistent--usually I start a journal and then give it up within just a couple of entries so I really love that you posted this video!
I love this! I'm putting together a video on journaling and I'm making a list of videos to check out and you are on that list!! You're just lovely! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! If you wanna share that list, i'd love to check out others you have to recommend :)
I found this video on tumblr around March of this year and this sparked my interest in journaling! Been addicted ever since!!! Love you Whitney! ♥️
I found your channel around December of last year (2015), and this video actually inspired me to start writing! (I've loved writing since I was a kid, but never really evolved myself as a writer) For now, I keep two journals, one personal and one that's basically what inspires me, list of things I like and whatnot ! I don't write daily, but I write about 2-4 pages when I do in my personal journal, and add things to my Inspiration journal when I can. I also bought an art journal, which for now consists of the things I've collected over the years (fortune cookie fortunes, stickers, random things I find).
Thank you for the inspiration !
I just started a journal today to try and write about how I feel so I can start recovering from self harm, depression, and anxiety. It's blue with flowers on it and quite pretty and I got rainbow pens with it lol.
Congrats to you for that. Hopefully it will help you out. I think I will try the same thing, and get some of this mess out of my head. 😊
Abigail Jensen hey! all the best... keep going.. you'll go through it... May god bless you!! 😊
I started journaling because of you. THANK YOU. I am on my second journal now and ahh I love it
This was, in my opinion, one of the best videos you've ever made. It was really really helpful and inspiring. I'm so glad that you decided to show us your journals and talk about them really in-depth, which was something that I appreciate because they're so personal. Also, I'm happy to see that you love art and feed your love for it even though you don't consider yourself an artist. I've been drawing for my entire life (I'm eleven) and you just need to keep practicing. I've had gaps where I was little and kinda stupid and let myself become dis-encouraged by older and better artists. Just keep practicing :).
This is the first time I'm watching one of your video's and I have to say I loved it. You are really fun to watch! and I can relate to you so much. I have like hundreds of notebooks and sketchbooks that are just waiting for their purpose in life because I bought too many in the past hahaha. Right now I am using the Midori Travelers Notebook for my thoughts, personal advice to myself and a food diary. And I like the system so much that I have to find another purpose for the other notebooks that I own .. And I know the feeling of reading old thoughts of yourself. Sometimes I am even too embarrassed of myself to keep that old journal. But I like to get to know my old self too ;)
It was so cool to learn that you love journaling! I do as well. I've been keeping all different kinds of journals and notebooks for as long as I can remember. This video was so inspiring to me to get back into writing in my journals!
I'm so glad I'm not the only journal obsessed person in the world. Also, side note, I'm in love with your bookshelves and the book collection you have. I know it's probably only a fraction of what you own, but it's beautiful :)
I'm really glad you made this video! I have a ton of beautiful journals that have been given to me as gifts over the years, but I have that problem of not wanting to ruin them by writing in them (because I don't feel I'm good at journaling). I've finally started to write in them about a year ago, but even still, I only write once every few months or so. This video helped me feel a lot better and it's made me want to write more often. So thanks! And thanks for the writing ideas at the end as well!
Thank you for this video! I used to journal but stopped. I am going to start back up because I absolutely love your ideas of what to write about.
OK I am not alone in having multiple journals that are in process for years. love your ideas and never give up on them, I have yet to run out of ideas.
You've got me in such a journaling mood now! I have a couple that I haven't used that I'm definitely going to be using now that I have some ideas. I have a "bullt journal" right now and it went from me writing my daily tasks to just this cluster of bookish lists and other lists and I may transfer that over to another journal entirely. I'm definitely going to use your examples are start journaling more because I miss writing with a pen and paper
Thanks for a wondrous video --- my son bought me a gorgeous notebook: so gorgeous that I was frightened to use it....😕 subscribing!!!!!
I loved this video. My ,,realtionship" to journals had always ups and downs. Sometimes I started a journal then I stopped after two days cause I just didn't feel like it. This video really motivates me to start jorunaling again, so thank you for your video. (I'm sorry if there are mistakes my first language isn't english)
I love your idea for having a journal to write down things you've learned. Im a high school student and I keep a journal where I write down everyday after school, what did I learn today? Sometimes I wrote down the title of each class I had then write down everything I learned in that class, like a summary. It's how I study because I go over my notes as a reminder and its really helpful since I started it I remember like everything I learn in school.
I'm so happy to know that I'm not the only one that keeps many separate journals! Keep it up!
I love journalling! I keep a journal for my anxiety and depression so whenever I have worries I talk about it in my journal to help me cope and get my thoughts together. I also keep a journal for my fiance where I write important things that have happened since our engagement until our wedding. Then the day before our wedding day, I'm going to give it to him.
Really liked this video :) I also have some journals that I never touched, because they felt too pretty to be tainted by my writing. This is primarily not because my handwriting is ugly, although it is not particularly nice looking. It is because after writing how I feel about something, looking at it kind of changes how I feel. So I put a lot markers akin to proofreading annotations and add/alter thoughts. The end result does not look pretty like it is seen on some videos. I sometimes also throw some of the pages away when the whole alteration process goes awry. It is for those reasons that I settled for loose white sheets that I collect in a folder. Some day I will have to have them bound. I suppose I am a guy, whose process is not fit for a hard bound embellished journal, who wants to journal anyway.
I am also sorry for making some mindless remarks on some of your other videos. I did not really intend to troll you. I enjoy your videos a lot.
I'm starting a journal and found this so fun and interesting to watch. I'm gonna check out more of your videos. thanks so much
OMG!!! This is your first video I've seen and you are me!!! I love writing and discovered around the same time. And I was also my classes random horse obsessed person. I hope to finish and publish something soon... Finishing being the hard part.
After watching this video, I'm seriously considering journaling once I go away for college. I think it'll be a great release since it's going to be quite a change in atmosphere, and my feelings will probably be all over the place. Thank you, Whitney! :)
CardinalsLuvBooks i'll warn you it is pretty time consuming writing, so you might not have enough time for writing down your entire day every day at college, but yessss try! i'm going to bring a bunch of blank notebooks to college!
Hooray for journaling! So happy that you do this and totally not surprised! Booktubers who journal are awesome!
Thank you for sharing! I have recently started journaling again. My recent journal is all over the place
I know I’m about five years late, but finally! A RUclipsr that journals in composition notebooks! I thought I was the only one, and from every collection video I’ve seen, most people don’t consider them to be journals!
You are the most inspirational person I have ever watched! Thank you!
I started writing a diary when I was 16/17, I was going through quite a tough time and felt like I had no-one to talk to so I thought it would be a good way to get my thoughts out. Writing really helped and now 6/7 years later, it is really great to be able to look back over what I was doing and what I thought.
Apart from really helping at the time, I think it also puts things into perspective. If something is bothering you, you know you're probably going to think it was a silly thing to be annoyed/bothered about in the future.
I still write in it now but not very often, although I would like to change that after seeing this video!
I have been journaling for years. I'm just mad that I don't have any of my original journals from back when I was ten. At the end of each year, I go back to what I've written during the year to see what my feelings and thoughts were. It just is a huge relief for me to write down my thoughts and feelings so I won't feel weighed down. Thanks for the video Whitney!
Natalie Cole half the reason i write is to look back at it later. it's so interesting to see how your maturity and even your writing style shifts over the years.
I have always had an uncontrollable urge to journal, because sometimes I had really inspirational thoughts but after a while I would forget them so I started writing them down, I guess I was learning new things. I enjoy journaling but I'm not proud of my journals or what I wrote in them, although sometimes I enjoy re-reading them and remembering what was going thru my mind in the past. I recently started an art journal and I really enjoy it and I'm happy with my art but it's not very sophisticated and I have a spiritual junk journal, which was supposed to be a book of shadows, at least that was the original intention. But that one makes me happiest because I put in it images and words that inspired me and revealed to me a deeper reality and more insight into mythology and metaphors and stuff. Love your videos 🍀💕
